During Sundays game between the Packers and the Vikings, FOXs Pam Oliver said that teammates of Minnesota quarterback Gus Frerotte tuned him out as he tried to encourage them, and that members of the offense were showing frustration, presumably with him.

Said Oliver: Before the Vikings offense took the field, Gus Frerotte tried to round up his guys and tried to give them a pep talk. But I noticed that only two people bothered to listen. Frerotte has refused to get down on himself because of his mistakes. But I can see a few of his offensive teammates are starting to show frustration at the way the offense has stalled.

Frerotte said Wednesday that he noticed no frustration. I never got that sense, he said. And I was more mad at myself than anyone else could be at me.

Frerotte threw three interceptions in the game, including a poorly-thrown pass in the third quarter, which Nick Collins of the Packers returned for a touchdown, cutting Minnesotas lead at the time from 11 to four.

If you look at it, its basically just three plays, Frerotte said. Three plays that put a damper on some great things that we did. I look at it, watch the film, and [if] you take those three plays out we did a lot of good things, but you cant take them out of the game.

Its not the first time an NFL player has taken issue with one of Olivers reports. Last year, Oliver and Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb traded barbs after she reported that McNabb said prior to a game against the Cowboys that his days in Philly are numbered, and that the organization was distancing itself from him.
